01UNDERSTANDING YOUR PIECE

Care begins with
understanding.

Wool is prized for its resilience, warmth, and natural soil resistance. However, improper cleaning can strip lanolin, cause shrinkage, or distort the pile. Our wool rug cleaning process respects the fiber's natural properties, using temperature-controlled water and wool-safe solutions to deep clean without damage. The result is a thoroughly cleaned rug with revived texture, restored softness, and vibrant color.

We discuss the condition, recommended treatment and expected outcome with you. The appropriate method is selected after inspection; not every treatment is suitable for every rug.

Wool Rug Cleaning in Chelsea

Lanolin, the natural grease in wool, helps a rug shrug off soil, and strong household detergents strip it while leaving a sticky film that pulls dirt back in. So skip carpet shampoo on a wool rug; vacuuming and quick blotting are enough at home until it needs a full wash. Wool also feeds clothes moths, which work in the dark under beds and heavy chests. Elevator buildings and condominiums together account for four in five Chelsea homes, and a rolled wool rug rides the elevator; if it is longer than the cab, say so when you book. A moth treatment can be added after cleaning.
